This link is okay.

Yes, I can see it an route it - directly or via the mixer - to the
analog outputs.

I do not think so because I can mix, DA and output the signal.

Right, this is part of SuSE 8.2.

Mounting the DAT recorder?! Sounds interesting... ;-)

What I want to have is a 1:1 copy of the audio data of a DAT deck. For
this I use its SPDIF-out and plug it to the SPDIF-in of the Audiophile.
Using envy24control I can route the signal to the cards internal mixer
or to its outputs. But how can I record it to an audio file?
Recording with Audacity results in a mute file. In its preferences I
found the sole option /dev/dsp as recording device.
I am determined to read more about it if you can tell me *what* to
read...

Hi there,
I still try to record a DAT signal. In the meantime I installed a
M-Audio Audiophile 2496 as card 0. I can configure it using
envy24control (alsa 0.9.0) and route the signal to the mixer or directly
to the outputs.
But how can I record the data? Programs like Audacity or krecord do not
"hear" it. What do I do wrong?
Ciao,

I will 3rd (or 4th?) the Agnula recommendation. I had originally installed
ccrma (which is fantastic for those who want to just get up and go!) but I
wanted to do a lot of stuff with PD that wasn't yet supported under ccrma,
but was supported under debian out of the PD CVS. I installed a base woody
system, then set all of my apt stuff to testing, and used the Agnula disks
to get the sound stuff set up. After some initial X and mouse problems with
agnula (now being tracked in their bug databse) I was good to go.

January 15th according to some recent posts of the Agnula list.

Cool. By the way Dave GREAT article in CMJ. I just got back from vacation,
checked the mail, and saw the cover! Having just jumped into the Linux world
I was happy to see the article. (A month or 2 to late for me, but I'm sure
it will help a lot for others!)

Mark,
Set state the way you want it then do alsactl store to save it. On reboot do alsactl restore and it will reset. The easiest way to do this is to add something to your rc.local script (wherever that is depending on distribution). On RH the best thing to do is add a file to /etc/rc.d/init.d that uses chkconfig (look at some of the other files in there). On start/boot it should do alsactl restore. On stop/halt it should do alsactl store. If you set it up like some of the other scripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d you should be able to turn it on by entering chkconfig FILENAME on.

Subject: [linux-audio-user] Using alsactl to preserve volume state
On the Wiki there is this advice and the following statement so
would anyone happen to know what the correct way to preserve
state across reboots for 2.6 is ?
# load/unload the volume settings on startup/shutdown
post-install snd-driver-name /usr/sbin/alsactl restore
pre-remove snd-driver-name /usr/sbin/alsactl store
This doesn't seem to work with a 2.6.0-test kernel. modprobe
simply ignores lines with these statements. Update to this
section would be appreciated.

first post (or so) here so Hi everyone.
Is there a distro out there that is best suited for audio work ? I am
currently downloading agnula's work but was wondering was you guys were
using.
As an all purpose desktop system I use mdk 9.2. There is a large number of
audio apps contributed for it but before going down that route or another, I
thought I'd take some advice.
I'd like to use software synth and a sequencer with a midi keyboard I have got
at home.
Thanks all !

Alsa recommnds this one with a DMan2044 PCI card (4-in, 4-out).
The insmod fails with "no such device"
Autodetections call for AGOPO Maestro or es1968, also Maestro. If I accept
these, they install but naturally do not play.
Hello,
Last night, we released the first development release of Gnomoradio.
Gnomoradio is a peer-to-peer music playing system that can read Creative
Commons licenses and legally share files based on them. It can play mp3
files as well as ogg's. The program is currently available in source
form for GNU/Linux and other UNIX-like operating systems.

Hello,
I wonder if anyone has a quick solution for recording audio data directly
to cd writer...
